champagne problems

The lyrics of this song remind me of things you've said to me over the years. How there's someone else out there better for me than you. 


You booked the night train for a reasonSo you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepersYou're not sure which is worse

Because I dropped your hand while dancingLeft you out there standingCrestfallen on the landingChampagne problems

Your mom's ring in your pocketMy picture in your walletYour heart was glass, I dropped itChampagne problems

You told your family for a reasonYou couldn't keep it inYour sister splashed out on the bottleNow no one's celebrating

Dom Pérignon, you brought itNo crowd of friends applaudedYour hometown skeptics called itChampagne problems

You had a speech, you're speechlessLove slipped beyond your reachesAnd I couldn't give a reasonChampagne problems

Your Midas touch on the Chevy doorNovember flush and your flannel cure"This dorm was once a madhouse"I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
How evergreen, our group of friendsDon't think we'll say that word againAnd soon they'll have the nerve to deck the hallsThat we once walked through

One for the money, two for the showI never was ready, so I watch you goSometimes you just don't know the answer'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely brideWhat a shame she's fucked in the head, " they saidBut you'll find the real thing insteadShe'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

And hold your hand while dancingNever leave you standingCrestfallen on the landingWith champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket
Her picture in your walletYou won't remember all myChampagne problems
You won't remember all myChampagne problems
